:nono: You better hope they don't, because the pony car is the one truly original bit of American heritage left that the Occidentals haven't touched yet...and that could help defibrillate the American auto industry.
Well, large swathes of the American car industry could use a good jolt or two. And much was said about American pickups untill Nissan crashed that party. I kinda suspect that the Japanese companies will stick with their more Euro concept of a sporty 2+2 coupe, i.e., highly tuned/stoked six.

On the other hand, the runaway success of the V8 Stang might joggle a few conceptualizations and with all the raw parts materials (V8 motors, RWD chassis) sitting on their parts shelves ready to be mixed into an oriental pony car, well, I'm just suprised we haven't seen it yet.

I think imminent death makes for a pretty powerful jolt.

was thinking same thing...



only i personally think gm's version is ugly looking...looks like it doesn't know what it wants to be...neither retro or modern...it looks overdone,bulky...then again if sales continue to go downhill for gm, there may be no company for the car anyways... (and does anyone think otherwise...name one car/truck gm makes that people are clamoring for?)

How many Camaros have ever had a pointed nose? They need to flatten out that nose like a 69 was. The back bumper area looks like a C6 'vette also. Other than that I like it. It still can't compare to a Mustang

I really like both the Comaro and Challenger concepts. The Challenger is more retro, the Comaro more modern. I'd really like to see these cars hit the street.

These cars plus the Mustang are unquely American --
the imports can't touch them for heritage, mystique or power!

Just the shot in the arm Detroit needs, IMHO!

I may be in the minority here, but I like the camaro concept, including the front end. The edginess has a mean look to it.

Ditto.....

And I like in the video how they make the comment about

"But was the Camaro name doomed forever?...
No way. Camaro is a valuable name...."

Yeah.....ever since the new STANG showed up, it sure is.....

I don't like the Camaro, it's fugly. The Challenger is much better IMHO.

The unveiling of both is very exciting though, the musclecar "pony car" wars are defintely back. The competition will produce improved cars for all of us. I can't wait, this is an exciting time!!!

I'm a fan of all muscle cars. That front end, however, is downright ugly. Funny how GM was bad mouthing retro until they saw how many Mustangs sold.
